A new scientific study provides powerful testimony to the extraordinary influences of electrical forces at the planetary scale. An electric wind recently measured at the planet Venus is said to be sufficiently strong that it can strip an entire planet of all its water components. The co-author of the study, NASA’s Glyn Collinson, said of these findings: "It's amazing and shocking. We never dreamt an electric wind could be so powerful that it can suck oxygen right out of an atmosphere into space. This is something that definitely has to be on the checklist when we go looking for habitable planets around other stars."

In Part 2 of this Space News, Wal Thornhill explains why this discovery is not surprising in an Electric Universe.

Alien Megastructure:Tabby's Star Anomaly Just Got Even More Mysterious after new studyThe Cosmos News

Published on Aug 8, 2016
Last fall, a little-known star called KIC 8462852 became our planetary obsession when astronomers said that its erratic flickering could be the result of an alien megastructure. Further observation of Tabby’s Star yielded no signs of aliens, but the sudden dips in luminosity continue to defy explanation. Now, things just got a bit weirder.

The subject of this video series by Dave Talbott is the ancient experience of towering celestial forms that are no longer present. From a single snapshot of the configuration, we can work backwards to the first appearance of these bodies out of an undifferentiated cloud or sea of dusty plasma. We can then follow the configuration’s evolution through phases that range from quasi-stability to earth shaking catastrophe.

Important Note: As this series continues, it will become increasingly important to start with the Preface and work forward sequentially. These were not intended to be stand-alone videos.

Will Supermassive Black Hole at The Center of The Milky Way Devour Entire Galaxy?The Cosmos News

Published on Aug 17, 2016
Want to hear something cool? There’s a black hole at the center of the Milky Way. And not just any black hole, it’s a supermassive black hole with more than 4.1 million times the mass of the Sun.

It’s right over there, in the direction of the Sagittarius constellation. Located just 26,000 light-years away. And as we speak, it’s in the process of tearing apart entire stars and star systems, occasionally consuming them, adding to its mass like a voracious shark.

At the EU2016 conference in Phoenix, Arizona, members of the Electric Universe community joined to explore new paths of discovery. A featured speaker at the conference was Ben Davidson, the founder of the online research community, Suspicious0bservers, which primarily focuses on space weather, including the Earth/Sun connection. Recently, Ben co-authored a paper published in a peer-reviewed journal on the Sun’s role in earthquakes. Today, we asked Ben to share his thoughts on the most promising lines of investigations for the Electric Universe theory.

Strands and arches of plasma streamed above the edge of the Sun for over a day, pulled by powerful magnetic forces (Aug. 11-12, 2016). The tug and pull of material heated to about 60,000 degrees C. was viewed in extreme ultraviolet light. This kind of dynamic flow of materials is rather common, though this grouping was larger than most.

Of the many mysteries we’ve explored on this series, perhaps those in our own celestial neighborhood stand out the greatest. From consistently surprising atmospheric phenomena on planets, including the Earth, to the enigmatic behaviors of comets, to the ongoing puzzles of the Sun, the evidence for the electrical connectedness throughout the solar system grows with each new discovery. In recent decades, the discovery of completely baffling exoplanet systems have led some astronomers to acknowledge the need for a whole new theory of planet and star formation. In part one of this two part episode, Dr. Michael Clarage, a scientist on the SAFIRE project team, proposes a foundation for a new model of the solar system, based on the principles of electrical engineering.

Our apologies for posting this Space News and then taking it down the first time. This version will remain posted.

In part one of this presentation, Dr. Michael Clarage, a scientist on the SAFIRE Project team, proposed an entirely new way of seeing our solar system, based on the principles of electrical engineering. In Part Two, Dr. Clarage further elaborates the idea of the solar system as a center-core electrical transformer. And he will be explain the results from initial experiments to actually build such a transformer.

The Sun is sending more fast solar wind our way that could bring us two more solar storms and a big chance for aurora over the next two weeks. Of course, we are still calming down after the solar storm that hit last week causing aurora all over the world. Catch up on amazing photos from that storm, learn how GPS and amateur radio bands will be affected, and see what else the Sun has in store this week.

SETI researchers are buzzing about a strong spike in radio signals that seemed to come from the direction of a sunlike star in the constellation Hercules, known as HD 164595.

The signal conceivably fits the profile for an intentional transmission from an extraterrestrial source – but it could also be a case of earthly radio interference, or a microlensing event in which the star’s gravitational field focused stray signals coming from much farther away.

In any case, the blip is interesting enough to merit discussion by those who specialize in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI – including Centauri Dreams’ Paul Gilster, who brought the case into the public eye this weekend.

At least two SETI research groups are aiming to track HD 164595 tonight. The SETI Institute is using the Allen Telescope Array in northern California, while METI International is looking to the Boquete Optical SETI Observatory in Panama.

Gilster reports that the signal spike was detected more than a year ago, on May 15, 2015, by the RATAN-600 radio telescope in Zelenchukskaya. That facility is in the Russian republic of Karachay-Cherkessia, not far from the Georgian border.
